Above the plaza where the Treasure Dragon Sovereign resided, the light in its eyes began to fade, yet its tightly shut mouth slowly opened.
A command token covered in engraved runes emerged from its mouth and flew toward Chu Feng.
The token was entwined with two colors — gold and red — and radiated an aura of ancient antiquity.
The gold represented lightning, and the red represented flame. The two intertwined and merged together in perfect harmony.
"A Thunderfire Command Token?!"
The sight of the object sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd. Some of them had heard of the Thunderfire Command Token before.
It was an offensive treasure of formidable power, containing the force to annihilate anything below the Half-God realm.
However, it could only be used once.
The Half-God realm was indeed powerful by Chu Feng's standards, but for the Totem Dragon Clan members present, it wasn't particularly impressive.
After all, within the Totem Dragon Clan, there were quite a few True God realm powerhouses.
So while the Thunderfire Command Token was undeniably valuable and extremely difficult to obtain, it wasn't something they couldn't accept.
Quite the opposite — they actually felt relieved.
After all, given the grand spectacle Chu Feng had created, they had expected him to obtain some treasure none of them had ever seen before.
But compared to the Totem Dragon Clan members, the look of inexpressible joy on Chu Feng's face was unmistakable.
"Typical bumpkin. Look at how thrilled he is."
"Can you blame him? A treasure like this — if he hadn't come to our Totem Dragon Clan, he probably would never have seen one in his entire life. Lucky bastard, stumbling into something like this."
The Totem Dragon Clan members wore expressions of disdain, and their whispered insults toward Chu Feng were even crueler.
Even though Chu Feng had managed to open the Treasure Dragon Sovereign's eyes, their first reaction wasn't respect — it was irritation and contempt.
It felt as though a treasure belonging to their own family had been snatched away by an outsider, which naturally left a sour taste.
After all, the ability to see the bigger picture wasn't something everyone possessed.
Chu Feng carefully stored the Thunderfire Command Token away.
At that moment, the barrier enclosing the plaza dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
Chu Feng immediately flew up and landed beside Long Muxi.
The two of them turned to leave.
But Long Yuhong suddenly pointed at Long Muxi and shouted, "What was that look just now? Who do you think you're being so arrogant with?"
But Long Muxi hadn't even glanced at Long Yuhong.
"Long Yuhong, are you looking for trouble?" Long Muxi turned her cold gaze toward Long Yuhong.
"Looking for trouble? Tell me — is it me looking for trouble, or you?"
"Haven't you already cut ties with the Totem Dragon Clan? What does it mean for you to come back here with this outsider?" Long Yuhong demanded coldly.
Long Muxi said nothing, but the moment the word "outsider" reached her ears, the look in her eyes turned abruptly frigid.
Fourth-tier Half-God pressure surged from within her, like an invisible beast charging straight toward Long Yuhong.
Fortunately, Granny Jin reacted in time, intercepting the pressure before it could land on Long Yuhong.
"Miss Muxi's cultivation has also entered the fourth-tier Half-God realm?"
"Incredible — as expected of Miss Muxi. Leaving the clan didn't slow down her cultivation in the slightest."
Although Long Muxi's attack had been blocked, her cultivation level left everyone present in awe.
Yet the more praise they heaped on Long Muxi, the more displeased Long Yuhong's expression became.
"Long Muxi, you think you can just attack me? I, Long Yuhong, am not the least bit afraid of you."
Though Long Yuhong's words were bold, her demeanor had lost much of its earlier confidence.
She spoke of not being afraid, yet her body drifted even closer to Granny Jin.
"Granny Jin, step aside," Long Muxi said coldly.
She was truly enraged. If Granny Jin stepped aside right now, Long Muxi would strike without hesitation and teach Long Yuhong a brutal lesson.
And seeing the ice in Long Muxi's eyes, Long Yuhong grew even more panicked.
The only reason she had dared to provoke Long Muxi earlier was because she believed her cultivation had surpassed Muxi's.
If they were evenly matched, she honestly had no confidence she could defeat Long Muxi.
And upon seeing that ferocious glare, her arm — which had only recently healed — suddenly began to ache again…
She knew all too well how ruthless Long Muxi could be.
"Long Yuhong, stop hiding behind her. Didn't you want to fight me? Here's your chance," Long Muxi said through clenched teeth.
Long Yuhong was truly afraid now. She didn't even dare to talk back.
Her cowardice was plain for everyone to see.
The gap in their strength was immediately and unmistakably obvious.
"Granny Jin, step aside. I'd like to see what exactly Long Muxi thinks she can do to Yuhong once you move."
At that moment, a new voice rang out.
It was Long Yuhong's mother.
Long Yuhong's mother descended from the sky, and Long Yuhong hurriedly moved to stand at her side.
"Long Muxi, do you still think you're the person you were back then — running wild with no regard for anyone?"
"Times have changed. If you dare touch Yuhong now, it will be a consequence you cannot bear," Long Yuhong's mother declared.
But Long Muxi showed not a trace of fear upon hearing this. "Is that so? Granny Jin, step aside… I'd very much like to see what consequence I supposedly cannot bear."
"Long Muxi, I know why you came back. You heard that the Weapon Vault, powered by the great formation, is about to open, and you want to return to claim your share, don't you?"
"With your identity, you certainly have the opportunity to enter the Weapon Vault's main hall."
"But let me make one thing clear — you can only enter the main hall. The side halls are off-limits to you," Long Yuhong's mother said.
"Why would I want to enter the side halls?"
